SNAKES

 

Snakes can be a scary nuisance to people in the Kansas City area. Most people are mainly concerned with not having themselves, their families, or pets being bitten by a venomous snake. Luckily, most snakes are non-venomous. However, there are two snakes native to Missouri and Kansas that are venomous: the copperhead and timber rattlesnake. It is advised not to assume that the snake is safe. Call the experts at Cridder Ridder to safely and humanely remove the snake from your home.

Timber rattlesnake
Usually tan or yellowish-tan with dark brown markings along its back that look like splotches near its neck and bands near the tail. A rust-colored stripe runs down its back. Has elliptical pupils.

Copperhead
